Abstract
A natural gas power generation process with zero carbon emission is described. The process includes pressurizing air and introducing the pressurized air into an air separation facility to obtain liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. The liquid oxygen is used for gasification and power generation The liquid nitrogen is applied as a coolant of flue gas, and then for gasification and power generation.

A natural gas combined power generation process with zero carbon emission, the process comprising:
- 1) pressurizing air with an air compressor to a pressure of 0.4˜0.8 MPa, and then introducing the pressurized air into an air separation facility for performing air separation to obtain liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen;
- 2) performing heat exchange at a cooler between the liquid oxygen and a high-temperature CO2 at an outlet of a supercritical CO2 generator, so as to generate high-pressure vaporized oxygen and recyclable CO2;
- 3) combusting the high-pressure vaporized oxygen and natural gas, and obtained high-temperature combustion flue gas drives the air compressor and a generator to generate electricity;
- 4) subjecting the high-temperature combustion flue gas obtained in step 3) to a heat exchange in a CO2 waste heat boiler to perform a supercritical CO2 power generation;
- 5) performing heat exchange of the heat exchanged combustion flue gas obtained in step 4) with liquid nitrogen through a vaporizer to obtain a stepwise cooled flue gas, and the vaporization of liquid nitrogen drives a nitrogen turbine generator to generate electricity.
